It's not too early to start thinking about 2015

It's not too early to start thinking about 2015 in Guatemala. Wait, of course it is. According to an early January poll, LIDER's Manuel Baldizon heads the pack of candidates with 34%. This is unsurprising given his second place finish in 2011. If history is any guide, he'll be the next president of Guatemala.

However, he's had a rough week. The Patriotic Party has tried to connect Baldizon and his party to lime attack against the Vice President and his newest book is full of plagiarized texts.

UNE's Sandra Torres is back for another run at the presidency. Her last campaign was thwarted by the constitution. She's is poll at 13% which isn't too far off where she left off in 2011. The incumbent Patriotic Party looks like it's supporting Alejandro Sinibaldi. Sinibaldi lost the race for mayor of Guatemala City in 2011.

Let's survive 2014 first.
